Staff Establishes Editorial Policy
Pogo and Bibler will still be around-you can bet on that. So will young Colan Francis' cartoons. But the rest of the editorial policy will depend on you.
With the arrival of each new semester, a new editorial policy appears as a new Kansan staff takes over. Therefore—
Perhaps more than any other page, the editorial page is for the students. With that thought in mind, an editorial policy can accomplish little unless it is geared to the interests of the students.
For the next eight weeks the policy of the editorial page will be devoted as much as possible to the students, their problems, and their campus activities. The students themselves will form the policy, will make it good or bad with their interest or their lack of interest in campus affairs.
We editorial editors will not be dubious about criticizing something we feel should be criticized. Nor will we hide from the open something that we feel should be placed before the students. On the other hand, we gladly will praise campus aspects and persons we think deserve a hat on the back.
Most of all we want to be fair. We will accept criticism (good or bad) and expect a royal panning if we have goofed. We would like students to be as open with us as we plan to be with them.
As a matter of fact, somehow we believe it is the duty of students to speak out more often in their own interests. A letter to the editor—it must be signed by an actual student—is one of the best ways for a student to speak his mind and get his ideas before the public.
The Daily Kansan editors welcome letters as a source of learning what students actually feel about campus subjects. With the help of students and many tapping typewriters, the letters' department of the editorial page can really mean something—something that will strengthen the page and (we hope) the campus.
The primary purpose of the editorial page, then, is to serve as a literary voice of the students—both from the editorial staff and other campus students. In addition, interpretation articles on world affairs, and movie and book reviews will appear from time to time to stimulate thinking on a variety of subjects.
Anyway, Page 2 of the Kansan will have much to say about many things, and we're looking forward to eight weeks of campus-inclined editorials. We hope to present them frankly, honestly, and with little beating-around-the-bush. —Gene Shank
A Smooth Registration
A bit of praise should be rendered the registrar's office way for the smooth, swift service during registration.
Those who passed on to a second semester were indeed grateful for the well-planned production line that made all of us a little poorer and most of us a little nearer graduation.
And the nice part of it all was that the whole affair was rather pleasant. Little ooh's and ah's of "I can't believe that's all there is to it" contrasted greatly with the quite different language following fall's registration.
The feeling of this spring's registration was so surprisingly gay that it was almost as delightful as going to receive a vaccination and happily discovering that someone lost the needle.

...Short Ones...
You really can't blame the groundhog for not wanting to come out of his hole. It's probably safer there away from cars and atomic bombs.
The low mean echoing from the Union ballroom has more to say about closed classes than anything else.
The senior: I'll graduate if it kills me! I'll graduate if it kills me! Even that's optimistic.
The draft board can start licking its chops again. Four more months until graduation.
To graduate or not to graduate that is the question. And Ham thought he had a problem.
Those who walk up and down the ticy Battenfeld steps deserve more than an AB. A mountaineering or grew would be more appropriate.
